. So yeah, I'm clearly not the only one.

Having others share your opinion doesn't validate your clear misconceptions surrounding CES.

It just means you've find an echo chamber to share said misconceptions.

Not like it matters, the logo is arguably generating more conversation for PS5 than the name and hardware reveal of the new Xbox, which only shows that Sony knows what they are doing.

If the logo being a meme and getting a huge amount of instagram likes is an indication for you of the possible huge success of the PS5 over its competitors, then oof. That's incredibly funny.

The reaction this news is getting from lovers to haters only prove that PLAYSTATION, as a brand is the most important gaming brand in the world. Nothing generates such a reaction like "Playstation", not even Nintendo.

Playstation, for millions of people doesn't mean just Sony games, it means GAMING, in general, just that. Playstation has been the main platform for video gaming for millions around the world the last 25 years. The fact that Playstation consoles represent a jump in technology each time a new one comes, helps to elevate the hype for a new console to unsustainable heights.

PS1 and PS2 did not have social media/internet hype because it didn't existed yet. PS3 had a bad mojo since the beginning and Wii/X360 had way better word of mouth than PS3. PS4 hype was inmense and yet it was a succesor of a console that heavily disappointed in USA in sales terms and popularity.

But now....here we are, in 2020, with social media at full power, coming from the most succesful home console ever, with Playstation brand more popular than ever, with Sony 1st party games more popular than ever, ..... PS5 is simply just destined to crush everything around it. The hype around the console through 2020 is going to be like nothing we ever seen. The moment Sony announce the day they present the PS5 to the world with its first few games, we all will notice how big Playstation brand in fact is.....

Be prepared people...There's going to be a lot of ridiculous hype from fans, petty system wars, and lots of speculation and haters everywhere....With luck, everything will be worthy because there will be tons of fantastic gifs in anticipation like when PS4 was about to launch. Let's hope so...XD.

Take a good breath, relax yourself and come back to your senses. It's just a logo. If people think it's unoriginal, then let them have their opinion. If people love the logo, same goes. You don't need to make a case for your extreme love of Playstation

Spoiler!
with some very over the top bold claims.

Some of you like to take the bait and can't do anything about it, huh?

What did you understand about what i said?? I said that this reaction happens because of popularity of Playstation brand and i was explaining why. It's not a bold claim at all, I'm not telling people how they should feel....lol. If you are a fan of other platform and don't like the attention this is getting, bad luck. If you think Playstation is not the biggest gaming brand in the world, good for you. I will disagree of course...and you can call me whatever you want...., i don't care. "Extreme love" you say....hahahaha. What is wrong with you?? Did i offend you somehow....??? I guess i used the word that i'm not allowed to use here again right? That word that begins with "N" and ends with "intendo". 

In my case, i don't give a damn about this logo, i'm just following all the jokes about it because the reaction about this logo is certainly absurd, but is fascinating to understand why is happening too. Some of you seems can't see the fun side about this....

It's like saying that X game trailer is getting X amount views on youtube and thus it's a guaranteed success. It's exciting to notice but just a little silly to actually take that as serious indicators. I'm just saying you should calm down and not read to much into this logo reveal, which you obviously do.

And uh, sure. I am a Nintendo fan and I don't hide that. I think they are the greatest video game company in the world. But it doesn't mean I don't have love for other systems and studios. I do own all systems and try to play them all.

"Don't read too much into this".....Where did i hear this before i wonder....?? Hmmmm...

I don't need to see X million likes in Instagram to know PS5 is going to be the biggest console launch ever in about less than a year. I don't even want to spend energy trying to convince you about it....You will see by the end of the year what happens like everyone else.

And you only want me to "calm down" (i still don't know about what i said i need to calm down anyway...) because you don't like seeing this kind of news or comments about it. I give you an advice and is free. If you see a news thread or link about Playstation 5 this year...., just don't click on it. You won't suffer this way....because if this "logo" thing is making you feel uncomfortable..., then you're going to have a hard 2020 in gaming forums i guess. What are you going to do when the PS5 is announced and forums start to be filled with PS fans??? It's going to be really painful don't you think??

No one innovates like Nintendo!  Not only did they steal their logo from a pizza company - but they took the pizza boxes as well, repackaged them and sold them back to their own fan base for $80 a pop... LEGEND! 

Mate you need to stop hanging onto this.. even with minimal effort Nintendo puts into a logo/symbol, its still more creative work invested than Sony and Xbox put into there designs.

I mean if i can create all of Sonys Logos with its entire Playstation brand with MS Word there is a lack of effort implemented.

Both Sony and Xbox have become boring with there lack of creativity these days. You may dislike the Switch logo however fact is, more effort was involved creating it.

It won't change peoples minds in buying a device however sometimes the throught is and effort is nice.

I found the PS3 and PS5 logos odd. At least the PS2 and PS4 logos seemed to even it out.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

The logo is pretty much what we could expect. Nintendo's logos present the console and/or what makes it different to the former console.

Sony uses similar logos because that's what PS is about. It's about releasing a much stronger version of pretty much the same.

If Sony would have used a totally different logo this time then we could probably expect some big changes but they want to tell everyone that you get pretty much the same just updated to new technology.

It might be boring but it wouldn't make any sense to change the Logo like Nintendo does

The OG is cool, while the PS3 Spiderman font was an odd and unoriginal choice. The rest are ok, but PS2 makes up for them all. That logo and it's sound bite are burned into my positive memories for life. It truly made me feel like the flying car future was finally upon us.



Normally wouldn't think anything of this, I don't buy games for the logos lol, but it's interesting that they would reveal the logo by itself rather than it just being there alongside the full console reveal. Clearly they were smart to do so given how much buzz it's created so good for them!

Yup, same font from PS3/PSV/PS4

the original playstation 3 used the 'spiderman' fonts, latter models used this logo
